Large size basketball shoes

The only luck I have had over the years for my kids has been purchasing them online, they do it themselves now but luckily they also have some from college provided for them which doesn't help you I guess, unless you have a mate over there who could bring you back a pair...

footlocker Marion have some 15's

Kickz101 in Melbourne use to get large sizes but brands aren't bringing in as many as they use to

Tell them you're ten years old, they'll probably give you a contract right now.

^^^ I'd reach out to the 36'ers and see if they can assist.

if you have kids growing up with large feet and you're struggling to cover the costs of shoes/uniforms/tournaments/etc, NBL players often have spare pairs they're happy to pass on to upcoming players.

Get in touch with the shoe reps in your particular State and tell them your situation. They might point you in the right direction.

Alternatively seek out some of the bigger units around the place and see what they do for footwear.

Good luck, hope this helps.

BASKETBALL AUSTRALIA URGES TOWNSVILLE TO REIGNITE THE FIRE

Following the announcement that the Townsville Fire Basketball Club is seeking community assistance in their bid to remain financially stable beyond the 2010/11 Women’s National Basketball League season, Basketball Australia has extended its support for the club, in their search for further community involvement.

Basketball Australia understands the pressures, both financial and administrative, in running a professional sporting club and stressed the importance of ensuring that the Townsville Fire continues to play at the top-level of the sport, not only for the strength of the WNBL, but also for the strength of the wider sporting landscape in the region.

“Being the only elite women’s sporting program in Queensland outside of the South-Eastern region, the Townsville Fire provides a very important piece not only to the basketball pathway, but to the wider sporting pathway in the region as well,”’ said Basketball Australia CEO Larry Sengstock.

“It provides an elite level to which young players can aspire to compete, and thus it’s critical that the club not only continues to be a player within the Women’s National Basketball League, but one that also grows in strength into the future as well.”

Basketball Australia is currently in the process of reviewing the Women’s National Basketball League, a process that commenced in December and is expected to conclude in April this year.
On the agenda is a review of the structure of the competition as well as the structure of the clubs, with the hope that some initiatives can be developed to ensure the financial security of the competing teams.

“The Townsville Fire has been a strong figure within the WNBL for ten years, and we understand that there is a great deal of work being done on and off the court within the organisation to ensure the Fire remain a success.
“We are committed to seeing the program continue on this path well into the future, and urge the Townsville community to play their part in ensuring that this happens,” said Sengstock.
